Ce catalogue a été édité à l'occasion de l'exposition  Samuel Whitbread II (1764-1815) and British Art - Paintings Politics & Porter présentée au Museum of London, en 1984. Brasseur et politicien, Samuel Whitbread fut un important mécène de la scène artistique britannique.


After the death of Samuel Whitbread II in 1815, it was as a politician and a benefactor rathor than a brewer that he was remembered. The editor of The Times described him as "England greatest and most useful citizen" ; Wilberforce declared that "There had never existed a more complete Englishman" ; and even the Prince Regent, the target of many of Whitbread's verbal thrusts, is said to have remarked "Whitbread was an honest man".
